The Premier League is in danger of being without a Champions League
quarter-finalist for the first time since 1996 after Manchester United and
Arsenal were given tough opponents in the round of 16 draw today.

United will face Real Madrid, the toughest of the non-seeded teams, while
Arsenal must face Bayern Munich, arguably the second best of their potential
opponents.

In the Europa League, Tottenham will welcome Lyons to White Hart Lane in the
first leg of the round of 32, a chance for Hugo Lloris to meet his former
club, with Newcastle taking on Metalist Kharkiv of the Ukraine,
